Kultar’s Mime, set in New York City, follows a collective of young Jewish artists influenced by Hebrew poet Haim Nahman Bialik’s “In The City of Slaughter,” describing the 1903 Kishinev pogrom. As the play progresses, they turn their focus on the anti-Sikh pogrom of 1984 in Delhi, using words from Sarbpreet Singh’s “Kultar’s Mime” to remind us that in the end, all innocent victims are the same, regardless of which God they worship or what tongue they speak. The play is a powerful condemnation of intolerance and violence, which affirms that just as hatred can transcend culture, religion and geography, so can compassion.

Kultar’s Mime comes to The San Jose Gurdwara after 60 acclaimed performances all over the world. Kultar’s Mime is directed by J Mehr Kaur, who attends Smith College and is being presented worldwide by The Sikh Research Institute.
